[Solved] ElasticsearchStatusException[Elasticsearch exception [type=mapper_parsing_exception, reason=failed t

Project scenario:

Today, when I was writing code in Java to check the data in ES, the following error occurred. I checked it for a while and found the problem


Console prompt

Cause analysis:

The data structure of the geographic coordinate attribute location in ES is (latitude, longitude), and I inserted a comma in the middle when I spliced strings, resulting in an error in inserting data. Here are the really useful parts of the above code.

Real error reason:

{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"parse_exception","reason":"unsupported symbol [.] in 
geohash [30.871729121.81959]"}],"type":"mapper_parsing_exception","reason":"failed to parse 
field [location] of type [geo_point]","caused_by":{"type":"parse_exception","reason":"unsupported symbol [.] in geohash 
[30.871729121.81959]","caused_by":
{"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"unsupported symbol [.] in geohash 
[30.871729121.81959]"}}},"status":400}

Incorrect writing:

this.location = hotel.getLatitude()+hotel.getLongitude();

Correct writing:

this.location = hotel.getLatitude()+","+hotel.getLongitude();

Solution:

Check the string before splicing, and the order (latitude and longitude) cannot be reversed, otherwise it may lead to geographical location errors.
